dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT: Introduction: Research on mindfulness and self-compassion has suggested that these closely related construct is also strongly related to flow, psychological distress, experiential avoidance and thought suppression. Despite the potential of this approach, there is a dearth of literature in respect to the relation and role of these constructs in the sport context, and specifically in soccer. Objectives: Current study explored relations among self-compassion, mindfulness, psychological flexibility, and psychological distress (including anxiety), thought suppression and flow state, through the implementation of Mindfulness-Based Soccer Program (MBPSoccerP) for elite athletes. Also was studied the influence of baseline psychological flexibility, self-compassion and mindfulness facets on psychological distress, anxiety, flow and thought suppression measures at post-intervention. Methods: The quasi-experimental design was a pre-/post-pilot study and paired t-tests, Pearson correlations and Hierarchical regression analyses were conducted to determine the common and unique variance in sport context predicted by these constructs and to compare their relative predictive strength in a nonclinical sample of elite soccer players -Portuguese 2º league (n=57; Mage = 25.79 years, SD = 3.3) Results: Self-compassion, mindfulness and psychological flexibility were negative associated with psychological distress (including anxiety) and thought suppression; and positively related to flow. In support, self-compassion, mindfulness and experiential avoidance explained variance beyond psychological distress (including anxiety), thought suppression and flow. Conclusions: Results suggest that mindfulness, self-compassion and psychological flexibility development may be beneficial in cultivating positive sport experience and flow state and less psychological distress and thought suppression. | pt_PT |
dc.description.abstract | RESUMEN: Introducción: La investigación sobre la atención plena y la autocompasión ha sugerido una relación con el flow, la angustia psicológica, la evitación experiencial y la supresión. A pesar del potencial de este enfoque, existe una escasez de literatura con respecto a la relación y el papel de estos constructos en el contexto deportivo, y específicamente en el fútbol. Objetivos: El estudio actual exploró las relaciones entre la autocompasión, la atención plena, la flexibilidad psicológica y la angustia psicológica (incluida la ansiedad), la supresión del pensamiento y el flow, a través de la implementación del entrenamiento de Atención plena, compasión, e flexibilidad psicológica (MBPSoccerP) para los atletas de fútbol de élite. También se estudió la influencia de las facetas de flexibilidad psicológica, autocompasión y atención plena en las medidas de angustia psicológica, ansiedad, flow y supresión del pensamiento. Métodos: El diseño cuasi-experimental fue un estudio previo / posterior y se realizaron pruebas t pareadas, correlaciones de pearsons y análisis de regresión hieraquica para determinar la varianza única y común en el contexto deportivo predicha por estas construcciones y comparar su predicción relativa en una muestra no clínica de jugadores de fútbol -Portuguese 2º league (n = 57; M = 25.79 años, SD = 3.3) Resultados: la autocompasión, la atención plena y la flexibilidad psicológica fueron negativamente asociadas con la angustia psicológica (incluida la ansiedad) y la supresión del pensamiento; y positivamente relacionado con el flow. Conclusiones: Los resultados sugieren que el desarrollo de la atención plena, la autocompasión y la flexibilidad psicológica pueden ser beneficiosos para cultivar la experiencia deportiva positiva y el estado de flow y disminuir la angustia psicológica y la supresión del pensamiento | pt_PT |
